304 Stainless Steel Market Analysis & Forecast 2024-2030

The 304 stainless steel is or A2 stainless steel or 18/10 or 18/8 stainless steel is most used type of steel. The numbers 18/10 and 18/8 represents quantity of Chromium and Nickel in steel. Its chemical composition contains 18% of Chromium, 8% of Nickel and 0.08% of Carbon. 304 is an austenitic steel. It is having excellent toughness, softness, ductility, spinning, forming, and drawing properties. It possesses excellent corrosion resistance and heat resistance properties. It is non- magnetic in annealed condition but becomes magnetic in cold workings. In its annealed condition it is having minimum tensile strength of 75,000 PSI and yield strength of 30,000 PSI minimum and elongation of 40% in 2 inches.  

Depending on product type, 304 stainless steel is divided into several categories i.e. 304, 304L and 304H. 304L contains low carbon than 304. It has improved weldability and therefore it is best suited for heavy gauge components. 304H contains high carbon than 304. It can be used at higher temperatures. 304 stainless steel is used in various type of home and industrial applications. It is used in production of food processing equipment. It is also suitable for dairy equipment like milking machines, containers and sterlizers. It is used in various home equipment like refrigerators, stoves saucepans, sinks, steam tables etc. It also finds its applications in aerospace Structures, pressure containing applications, architectural structures, sanitary or cryogenic application and chemical industry processing equipment.
